Mickey Mantle wins his 3rd MVP Award

DID YOU KNOW ? The New York Yankees signed Mickey Mantle to a minor-league contract in 1949, the day he graduated high school. He was paid $400 for the remainder of the season and a $1,100 signing bonus. A Yankee for his entire career, among Mantle's many accomplishments are all-time World Series records for home runs (18), runs scored (42), and runs batted in (40). He once hit a ball left-handed that cleared the right-field roof at Tiger Stadium in Detroit estimated to have traveled 643 feet. In 1956, Mantle won the Triple Crown, leading the majors with a .353 batting average, 52 HR and 130 RBI on the way to his first of three MVP awards.

He is the only player to hit at least 30 home runs in 15 different seasons, and he currently holds the all-time career RBI mark of 2,297. Aaron made every all-star team from 1955-1975, and was the 1957 National League’s Most Valuable Player, the only year in which he won the World Series. That season he hit 44 Home Runs, 132 RBIs, scored 118 Runs, and averaged .322
